🛍️🔥 Skip the Yard Sale — Do Some Good Instead
Got stuff piling up but don’t want the hassle of running your own garage sale?
We’ve got you covered.
👉 Donate it. Let it do some good.
Okanogan Gateway is accepting rummage sale donations:
📍 Okanogan Grange
🕔 Drop-off TONIGHT & Saturday Morning
Clothes, tools, household goods, odds and ends — if it’s still got life, we’ll put it to work.
Every item helps support youth right here in our community — building skills, leadership, and real opportunities that stick.
☕ Stick around a bit.
Shake a hand.
See what we’re building.
This is how a community takes care of its own.

☕🛠️ Rummage Sale Fundraiser – Come Sit a Spell & See What’s Growing
There’s something good happening in our valley… and it starts with a cup of coffee and a good conversation.
Join us at the Okanogan Grange for our Rummage Sale Fundraiser — where the tables are full, the coffee’s hot, and the door’s open to everyone.
☕ Free Coffee & Tea
🪑 Pull up a chair, shop talk, and relax
🛍️ Rummage treasures waiting to be found
While you’re there, come see what the Okanogan Gateway Ambassadors have been building. These kids aren’t just talking — they’re doing. Skills, leadership, hands-on work… the kind that sticks.
🌲 We’re also proud to be sponsoring the 333rd Sagewood Rangers— now officially moving forward and growing strong. More opportunities, more activities, and a place for youth to learn real-world skills that matter.
🔥 What do YOU want to see?
– Skills workshops?
– Outdoor events?
– Hands-on learning?
Tell us. We’re building this together.
📅 Coming in April:
🧵 Sewing Workshop – April 18th at the Okanogan Library
Learn to sew a potholder from start to finish — taught by Virgil himself (13 years old and already passing on the craft).
Young or old, beginner or seasoned — you’re welcome at the table.
This isn’t just a sale.
It’s a gathering.
It’s a start.
Come be part of it.

🌲🔥The 333rd Sagewood Rangers are stepping into an active year, and it starts now. 🌲🔥

We will hold a Planning & Introduction Meeting on March 5th 📅 for families, youth, and adults who want to learn what we’re building and how to be part of it. This is your chance to hear the vision, ask questions, and see what traditional scouting and Outdoor Service Guiding looks like on the ground.
We go live with official sign-ups on March 19th 📝 (location TBD).
If you’re interested but want something more informal, reach out. 🤝 We have several youth leaders who are ready to connect, share their experiences, and meet one-on-one or in small groups. Sometimes the best way to understand a program is to talk with the people already walking the trail.
This year includes camping 🏕️, skill development 🪵, paddle camp 🛶, and a 50-mile backpacking trip 🎒—along with service projects and leadership training throughout the season.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to step outside and commit to something solid, this is it.
Contact us for details or to express interest. 📬
Get ready for a strong year ahead. 💪🌄
